Aftercare Instructions

 For at least 14 days following your treatment to maximise results please include the following daily routine:

• Use a gentle cleanser, avoid wipes and micellar water

• Apply skin care products suitable for your skin type and have a skincare routine ready for after your facial

• Avoid products that contain retinoids ( retinol ), AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid, such as glycolic acid/lactic acid), BHAs (beta hydroxy acids, such as salicylic), micro beads, or enzymes that will further exfoliate the skin for at least 5/7 days. 2/3 days with Dermaplaning

• No exfoliation - physical or chemical for at least 1 week

• Avoid cleansing tools/brushes/rough sponges for at least 3 days. 

Try soft muslin cloths or a soft flannel.

• Avoid any skincare products that contain harsh chemicals such as alcohol/fragrances/parabens especially after facials, but this should be something to avoid all the time.

• Avoid sun exposure straight after a facial. 

 • It is important to wear a high factor broad-spectrum SPF for at least 1 month after treatment. RISK: If you don't wear SPF 30+ after treatment, you will be more prone to sun damage than usual, meaning you are at risk of hyperpigmentation.

• Avoid excessive heat 3 days post treatment for e.g heavy workouts, steam rooms, saunas or sunbeds etc.

• Avoid chlorine for 24 hours. Do no submerge the treated area into chlorine pool or hot tub for 3-5 days

• Avoid a hot bath/shower for 24 hours to reduce causing any irritation 

• Avoid facial waxing for 1-2 weeks

• Avoid dermal fillers and Botox/Xeomin for 2 weeks

• Do not pick, scratch or aggressively rub the treated area

• Make-up may be worn 24/74 hours later, the longer the better. Make sure only to use clean make- up brushes/sponges as contaminated brushes can cause skin irritation and breakouts. 

• Keep your whole body really hydrated, Drink the daily amount, if not more after a facial
